I used to like him a lot. Maybe his narrating Labor Day is gonna remind his narrating of Spider-man.

He was great in Brothers, regardless of what those nuggets say below (above?) me. I wonder what character he's playing in Labor Day. My guess is, Reitman probably expanded the roles from the original text or added new characters because all of the main roles have been cast (including the father who isn't so much a main role but is probably the only other meaty role if we're looking at supporting players). I have a special spot for this novel, so I'm eager anticipating it's release. For McGuire to be lured into doing this film, there had to have been a good role waiting for him… hmmm… someone, theorize!

I like early-Maguire a lot ("Pleasantville," "Wonder Boys," "The Ice Storm"), but I did think that his performance in "Brothers" was pretty goofy. It's interesting to hear it defended, though. I hope "Labor Day" gets him attention and more roles.
